True neutral – Though she never spoke to the Jedi she served about some of her thoughts, she always felt that good and evil were immaterial to purpose. Seeing the Jedi so often destroy that which they came to save, or care not for their collateral damage, she thought of them as delusional when they referred to themselves as good and therefore, internally, she never referred to herself in such a way. Good and Evil were constructs of man. One only had to live by what one chose was their code of honor. In her day to day, she adheres to the laws of the area she is in, but doesn’t actually care about them and when not watched, can choose to disregard them as easily as she disregards the color of the ground. The only law she truly trusts is Science.
Strengths
Level headed - Kasca is not one to freak out about things. She tends to be rather calm in high stress situations even at the end of a weapon.
Stealthy - She can be hard to spot when she wishes to be since she is short, lithe and small.
Steady handed - She has good hand eye coordination and is dexterous. This has helped her hand-to-hand and close quarters combat skills and it keeps her lightsaber skills from being too awful due to her lack of proper attention to them.
Highly Telekinetic - This is the one Force power she is best at. She practices it pretty constantly so that it is as natural to her as breathing.
Technology Fu - Whenever encountering anything technological, she just seems to have a natural knack of being able to make it work for her.
Dominate mind - Possesses a natural affinity for Dominate Mind (Pact of the Jart)
Weaknesses
Casual Disregard - Kasca doesn’t really bond with other kids her age. She cares not for the drama of teenagers and feels that as an Arkanian, she is above all of that and superior to their meddlesome two-faced ways. Therefore, she can almost be hurtful in her lack of conscious caring. She displays very little tact and kindness to others unless they have earned her respect.
Deductive intellect - Perhaps from a combination of curiosity and natural talent, Kasca has a keen eye for piecing out information and discovering concealed logical lines that others may not necessarily notice.
Borderline Immoral - She does not let moral boundaries stop her, leading her to all sorts of dark places. They still get her where she wants to be, right?
Arkanian Arrogance - Although an Offshoot, Kasca believes herself biologically superior to most species.
Arkanian Offshoot - As an Offshoot, she must work to attain good fortune amongst her home and people.
Dominate Mind - Extensive usage of Dominate Mind may cause physical strain appearing as debilitating, cranial pain and hemorrhaging from various orifices. (Pact of the Jart)
The Voices - Kasca hears voices. Due to her mother and father’s meddling, they broke something in her while they enhanced her telekinetic abilities to such a strong level. Sometimes the voices are silent, but others, they are deafening. Kasca tries to keep this a secret and her more loner lifestyle has helped that, so far.
Telekinesis - Referred to some as Force Push and Force Pull, telekinesis consists of two branches of the ability. Sustained Telekinesis where an object or person is held in place for a period of time, and then Burst Telekinesis in which something or someone is thrown backwards or pulled in towards the user.
Best – Move Object, Force Pull, Force Push, Force Throw, Force Barrier, Levitation
Good – Force Wave, Force Blast, Force Burst, Force Wound
Telepathy - Consisting of more than just communication from one mind to another, Telepathy is the umbrella term for the ability to affect a person’s mind. Whether convincing others to do something they normally would not or otherwise projecting images, memories or words into the consciousness of the target. The effect of Telepathy varies dependent on the mental strength of the foe. She uses this most often as subterfuge and small illusions as she is not close to anyone.
Force Stealth - also referred to as Force Concealment or Buried Presence, was a power that is used by highly skilled Force-sensitives to mask their Force alignment, their ability to use the Force, or even their entire presence from other Force-sensitives.
Kasca isn’t one to pay much attention to the formalities that often accompany the Jedi. She never really looks sleek or sophisticated. Her hair is almost always a mass of waves and she wears fun makeup. She is in her late teens and at least her appearance displays this. Her robes are only worn when necessary and the less of them, the better. She is always hygienically clean so she can do her work in whatever lab is available to the Jedi.
She is short in stature which helps in her stealth abilities. She is Arkanian, genetically changed but can pass for human as she has pupils and a slightly darker hair color and complexion than her purebred brethren. In fact, her blue irises, though incredibly light in color have a dark navy outer rim.
Armor: Mandragoran Armor for women.
Mother: Liana Fen
Father: Rusco Fen
Brother: Keyzo Fen
Kasca is young but brilliant. At the age of 16, she is a promising student. She tackles her education like she does her experiments, with diligence and meticulous work. She listens and learns well and has never been a disciplinary problem. Most teachers feel that she is aloof however, and worry that her lone wolf attitude and desire to be left alone to her studies will eventually become a problem.
Her family is not much in her life at her own behest. As she grew up with her family, her physical differences (slightly darker hair and her unique eyes) started to make her aware she might have been tampered with. Her brother while similarly colored had suffered mental breaks several times as they aged together. Her brother is envious of her brilliant and seemingly unbroken mind. He felt that because their parents chose to do a second experimental child, that they must feel him to be inferior. Because of this, she was often the recipient of his emotional and physical torments. Their parents were not often around to protect her or they ignored his outbursts. He left the family before she left for the Jedi and has not been heard from since.
While her father and mother may have thought they were doing what was best for their children, they also enjoyed the accolades of a scientific community and the upper echelon of the Arkanian society. Both siblings were brilliant beyond even Arkanian standards. Their Force abilities started to manifest younger than most and with surprising power. On these, the family was regarded as a great success. As long as her parents kept the brother’s insanities a secret, they continued to enjoy high society.
As both children aged, their physical appearance grew less like the pureblood Arkanian appearance. Upon realizing this, her parents shipped her and her brother off to a boarding school until such time as they were to be sent off to the Jedi Academy. Offshoot’s are looked down upon as second class no matter how much they surpass purebred Akanians in anything. And left to her brother’s madness alone, she could not feel love for her family.
Of course being either type of Arkanian means nothing to the Jedi and Kasca at least found a place for herself among them as the slightly quirky and chaotic scientist with a fascination with Jedi history. If she wasn’t in the labs with experiments, she was in the library reading. While her peers enjoyed the drama of teenagers and found first loves and first heartbreaks, she cared not for the trappings of their society and shut herself away for the most part. She occasionally indulged her more base nature when the hormones raged and biology necessitated her to do something. Even that she approached with a methodical mind, indulging without divulging and then disappearing to her datapads and experiments. Kasca does like watching the trainwreck of her peer’s lives though. Its almost as fascinating as a biological experiment.
She left the Jedi Order to become a dark Jedi with The Dark Jedi Order However, it did not get her very far, disbanding before she learned anything. Thus she was left to find her way on her own.
She did rather forcefully, crashlanding on Ryloth and being guided by Scherezade DeWinter to become an initiate of the Mandragora. Kasca was accepted by the Jart.
